Press Release

Nonaka-Hill Kyoto is pleased to present Takeshi Honda’s charcoal drawings alongside Tomoko Obana’s sculptural arrangements of wood-fired ceramics. Both artists have built studio repositories from which to select and develop their artworks; Honda photographically records his long walks in the mountain from which he painstakingly copies dense forest images, while Obana collects and replicates vintage bottles in various clays to compose her highly calibrated assemblies. The works coalesce with sooty surfaces, earthy tonalities, and a sense of wintertime serenity.
